I met Monte more than 30 years ago after my wife was seriously injured in an accident that was not her fault. She was a passenger, and at the time we had both the wrong attorney and the wrong doctor handling the case.

Monte took over, replaced our attorney, helped us get a new doctor, and completely changed the direction of the case. Three years later, he took it all the way to a jury trial and won the maximum award available for soft-tissue injuries.

What sets Monte apart is that he is fully prepared to go to trial when necessary. Insurance companies know this, which often results in stronger settlement offers and better outcomes for his clients. He took a chance on our case because if he had lost, he would have absorbed all the costs himself.

Monte also gave us something that’s hard to find today—his time. He was always available to answer questions and speak with us personally. In my experience, very few attorneys provide the level of dedication, commitment, and personal attention that Monte does.

If you need an attorney who is willing to fight for you and take your case all the way to trial when necessary, I highly recommend Monte.

“I am in awe of the level of expertise, efficiency, and compassion shown from every member of this law firm. Roy Miller along with Monte Hansen represented us in a complicated and potentially serious juvenile felony conviction, and they were able to complete the case with great success. Maria answered my many concerned calls and email messages with care and understanding, even when I was probably asking too many questions. This is a very likable group of attorneys and staff, and I have to say it was fascinating watching Roy Miller in action in the courtroom. I will definitely recommend this law firm to anyone in need of their reasonably priced services, especially for those in Sonoma County, where they have extensive knowledge of the system, judges, District Attorney’s, etc. We feel very grateful to have had the opportunity to be represented by Hansen & Miller Law Firm.”
